The Ghana Football Association (GFA), in collaboration with the GFA Foundation and Women's Football, is encouraging all stakeholders, with a particular focus on women in football, to actively engage in the 2023 Breast Cancer Awareness Month campaign.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an annual global health initiative observed throughout the month of October. This year's campaign carries the theme 'Keeping Her in The Picture,' emphasizing the importance of safeguarding the well-being of the significant women in our lives.
The primary aim of this month-long campaign is to boost awareness about breast cancer, advocate for early detection, provide support to those affected by the disease, and explore solutions for its prevention and treatment.
The GFA Foundation, in conjunction with our affiliated clubs, is extending a reminder to all female administrators, staff, officials, and female players, encouraging them to utilize this awareness period to undergo examinations, whether through self-examination or clinical assessments.
To bolster awareness, the Association will be sharing informative tips and resources on its social media platforms. This collaborative effort aims to make a positive impact in the fight against breast cancer and promote early detection and prevention among women in football and beyond.
